Why
are there contradictory interpretations of my
relationship?

The free horoscopes do not contain a synthesis, but
interpret each individual factor in your relationship
horoscope. Naturally there are some contradictions -
no relationship is free of them. Humans are multi-layered
and contradictory, and so are relationships. This doesn't
mean they are right or wrong, good or bad, they are
just complex.
If you would like an in-depth analysis (and synthesis)
of your relationship, please order Liz Greene's "Relationship
Horoscope" or the "Horoscope
for Two" by Mona Riegger, both of them are
high quality AstroIntelligence reports.

In the data
sheet
of the Short Report Partner, the last set of data states an
Ascendant which
is completely different to either of the two natal horoscopes. Is
that
a calculation error?

No, it isn't. The final set of data refers to the composite chart of the
two
natal charts. It is an abstract chart which reflects the relationship
between
two people as a third entity. For each planet the midpoint of both natal
charts
is calculated, these are then shown as a chart drawing. Composite charts
are
computed constellations, they do not represent a real astronomical
situation.
The composite Ascendant can be calculated in two different ways:
a) Either one can use the latitude of a place of reference, or
b) one can use the midpoint of both Ascendants.
For more information on the Composite Chart, please read Liz Greene's
article on the subject.

Why don't
you
offer a partner matching service based on astrological
compatibility?

Because we don't think it makes sense to match people just by comparing
their
charts. What brings and keeps people together in relationships is a very
complex
matter. We are all very different, and have very different needs in
relationships,
and different capacities to bring into relationships. We also carry our
past
experiences, from the family background and from our previous
relationships as
baggage into each new one.
These complexities cannot be known or taken into account in an
astrological partner
reading. Astrology can be very helpful in understanding an existing
relationship
between two particular individuals. But this requires an individual
analysis
of each relationship case, based on the complete birth data of the two
partners.
If a relationship is not actually lived, but only considered as a
'potential',
and if the detailed birth data (including birth time) of the partners are
not
known, the possibilities of serious astrological analysis are very much
reduced.
